Well if it's important that the yacht come from North America then I suspect the list will not be very long. Message boards are a bit of a ramble...
Well cruising the California coast is mainly a port-to-port game. With Baja and Catalina Island as excursions and diversions. Which has is...
Hey Carl, yer goodie box found its way across the badlands to Phoenix today. That camera is really a cool piece of gear! YachtForums ROCKS!...
Good eye Loren. However the other yacht does sport a RIB for trolling the beach for babes :cool: Kelly
Philippe, your rendering shows a dark grey line curving across the top of the bow deck. Which looks fine, but I am curious to know what the...
Gosh, did I scare everybody off? :confused: Anyhoo, Greg, did you have in mind a traditional yacht - [IMG] Or the more contemporary euro...
Very stylish, and good looking. There are various details that could be nit-picked from a practical viewpoint. But that could be said for almost...

Thanks for those links yipster. I had not heard of these aftmasted rigs before. That design by Arno Gaudier is certainly thinking outside the...
I've never seen a sailing yacht with the mast that far aft. But then I haven't seen many wishbone rigs either. Would you happen to have a photo...
Actually the LG doors was an excellent example. Hadn't thought of that one. Another would be bomb bay doors. Is this thread drifting yet? :)...
I believe this door is several magnitudes larger than those access panels on the underside of an aircraft wing. Kelly
Welcome to YachtForums from another Arizonan Greg. I think you will find a wide range of options (and opinions). But meanwhile here are some...
All of it. I'm NOT a structural engineer. But I'm not buying the "loads can be easily transferred to other structures internally" either. If it...
Sorry to be a timid soul, but hull cutouts that huge make me wonder. Kelly
Curious avatar Stan. The chopper looks like it's about to crash! :eek: picky Kelly
